The world is reeling and rocking in real physical terms. Not talking about gyrations produced by an electric guitar. Earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes cover the world and spare no one. Extraordinary human suffering and grief. Many would say, we have always had these phenomenon; that’s how they get their names. Yet, our inner instincts tell us our time is different. the named calamities are more frequent, more severe, world-wide and more devastating in their psychological and economic effect. The South, and here in Tennessee, was stricken in mid-week. Up close and personal suffering is what it is all about. Suffering and devastation that will not disappear or be fixed the next morning, or the next month, or the next year.
